In the article focused on cancer registry awareness, Mary Marshall, CTR, cancer information specialist for CHAMPS Oncology, stresses the value and importance of spreading the word about the cancer registry profession through community involvement.

Marshall writes, “For years, I have been participating in community outreach programs as a speaker to do just that. As a guest speaker I have explained the role of the cancer registrar to hundreds of people, from those attending cancer support groups, to allied health professionals to health agencies.”

In the article, Marshall reminds readers that you don’t have to be a natural-born orator to go on the CTR speaking circuit.

She explains, “CTRs play a role in the fight against cancer and speaking about it helps to remind me of that while spreading the message to others.”
